Be aware that there are 2 kinds of wild rice. The cultivated kind is
more common and less expensive. The grains are really dark, almost
black, as a result of the processing. Then there's the really wild kind,
harvested by hand, and usually sold by Indian tribes. Processed
differently, the grains are brown. It is vastly superior, although a lot
more expensive (perhaps 10-11 bucks a pound).
